The Final Vegas News Is Going Out With A Bang!

An era is coming to an end. After more than 10 years and various iterations, this will be the last edition of Vegas News at TravelZork. This will be the last time you’ll see two weeks of the biggest happenings in Las Vegas in one place. This was created as a quick catch-up for busy people, […]
Vegas News | Oh No Oyo, Icahn Fail, 3:2 Poolside Blackjack and Much More

This was a wild week in Las Vegas, from a free play promotion that went exactly how we all expected to a hotel catfishing customers. At least I got to have some tasty eggslut without waiting in a huge line! Since we publish Vegas News every two weeks, there’s some older info to share. This […]
Vegas News | Fertitta Negotiating To Buy Caesars, Nobody Stays In Comp Rooms, and Did Circus Circus Really Install Kitty Claw Machines?

Let’s kick this off with what could be huge Vegas News. Tilman Fertitta is the last man standing to buy Caesars. A deal isn’t done, and it will take time to close, given regulatory approvals across all jurisdictions where the company operates casinos. Get the scoop here. Fun fact: the last time Fertitta tried to […]

Vegas News | Brothel Tours, Bellagio Changes, Free Booze At Golden Gate, And More!

Five times a year, I lead Vegas News with details about the newest display at the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden. As usual, the fall display is my least favorite. It’s beautiful as always, but not my preference. Christmas is my favorite if you’re curious. See pics below and read about it here. The process […]
Vegas Strip Adjacent Prices On The Strip

As a New Yorker, I’ve always looked at the Vegas Strip as Times Square, while the rest of Las Vegas is the boroughs surrounding the tourist trap. Now that I’m older, I realize there are expensive tourist traps around the country. Since prices in Las Vegas have become an issue, we’ve been exploring some of […]

Vegas News | New Poker Rooms, Free Concerts Downtown and More!

We skipped most of the Vegas News last week to give a heads up about reserving M Resort hotel rooms for Zorkfest before the NFL announced whether or not the Raiders would be playing a home game on the same weekend. The good news is that rates haven’t changed much, if at all, even though […]
Vegas News | Durango Has Poolside Blackjack, MGM Has A New Credit Card, And There’s A New Poker Room Coming To Planet Hollywood

This will be a somewhat brief edition of Vegas News, with the short week for the long holiday weekend, I learned about at 8 a.m. on Friday. Before I get started, I want to remind everyone that you’ll need a Real ID to fly to Las Vegas soon. I finally gathered my info and need […]
Vegas News | The Venetian Goes Hyatt, Manilow For Life, And Plenty Of New Restaurants

Welcome to the first Vegas News of 2025! Growing up in New York City I was led to believe that Times Square is the best and only place to party on New Year’s Eve. I did it once and learned that it’s just not for me. I visited the Vegas Strip once for New Year’s […]
